Hesai JT16 Mini 3D Lidar
Hesai JT16 is a small 16-channel rotating 3D lidar. It covers 360° × 40° (0° to 40°), measures 0.15–100 m with 30 m at 10 % reflectivity in up to 100 klux, has ±3 cm accuracy, and gives 48,000 points/s at 5 or 10 Hz (0.6° / 1.2° horizontal). Data goes out over 3 Mbps RS485 with PPS / NMEA sync on an 8-pin JST, at 12–16 V and 4.3 W. 905 nm Class 1, IP6K6, Ø75.5 base × 64 mm, 199.7 g.

Max range is the printed figure at the stated target reflectivity; accuracy is the typical datasheet value. Scan frequency is the default rotation or frame rate.
Specifications
Motor performance
No-load, rated-load and stall figures retain their separate test conditions.
Stall torque and current are not continuous ratings. Check the duty cycle and starting load when choosing the driver and power supply.
Thermal limits by level
Product operating conditions, chip ambient ratings, package case limits and junction maxima remain separate.
